I grew up near Vancouver, British Columbia and was fortunate to spend my time hiking through old growth forests and searching for wildlife in tide pools near the ocean. Growing up surrounded by the diverse ecosystems of the West Coast and witnessing their destruction further fueled my passion for conservation.

I have a BSc in Marine Biology from the University of Victoria and worked in science communications for four years before joining Wilderness. My focus is marine mammals (especially orcas and humpback whales!) and the connection between land and sea. I'm excited to be a part of WI Canada and look forward to helping the organization educate others about the wonders of nature and protect endangered ecosystems for generations to come.
